Argentina: El Calafate

We flew from Bariloche south to El Calafate. Again, it's beatiful here. Upon arriving I once again felt like I was in Utah and wondered why am I traveling to the other side of the world to look at scenery that looks exactly like it does back home...until we visited the glaciers. WOW! We paid an arm and a leg to take an all day catamarn to three glaciers: Upsala, Spegazzini and Perito Moreno. Perito Moreno, although not the biggest glacier here, is the most famous. This is because while most if not all other glaciers are receding, Perito Moreno is actually gaining as much mass at the beginning as it is losing to the lake.

It was absolutely incredible to see the glaciers. We were on the boat the whole day so didn't get to walk on them (we decided to skip the mini trekking on the glacier because the tours are so expensive). But we stayed out on the deck of the boat most of the day so we had a great close up view of the glaciers.

Here are some of my PHOTOS from EL CALAFATE.

Info on Los Glaciers National Park. We are headed to El Chalten for one night tomorrow before returning back to El Calafate to spend Christmas.

Happy Holidays!!!
With love,
